Well, I picked up the 12-foot U-haul cargo trailer Friday and dragged it home. Then for the remainder of the day a couple friend helped me load it to the gills. Man, that thing actually holds a lot of stuff. The sticker on the front says not to load the tongue weight more than 450 pounds. I'm guessing I may have overshot that mark by a pound or two.
And guess what? The damn thing has no jack on the tongue so until it's unloaded again next weekend I can't get it off the hitch. And today I had to run 40 minutes north into "town" to pick up some last minute packing supplies and I had planned on dropping it here and hooking up again when I returned. Nope - had to drag that SOB with me all afternoon. And I have to run to the store again tomorrow to get a script before I leave on Tuesday.
On the plus side, the truck didn't even know the trailer was back there. Fun times.
